Whether you currently have D.A.R.E. in your community or agency, or are wanting to start D.A.R.E., or have discontinued D.A.R.E. due to funding or staffing issues – I want to be sure you are aware of all of the changes and improvements that have occurred recently.

There has been misinformation presented by the media and the uninformed that D.A.R.E. is not flexible or responsive to community needs, and that what happens in Los Angeles drives the develop-ment of the curriculum.

This is completely untrue; in fact some of the newest enhancement lessons and community pre-sentations available were initiated out of a strong need by the Midwestern states.

D.A.R.E. is one of the most flexible and con-tinuously developing prevention education curri-cula/ community presentation programs, allowing communities to select from a cache of enhancement lessons tailored to meet local needs.

Current D.A.R.E. enhancement lessons in-clude, but are not limited to: Over The Counter & Prescription Drug Abuse; Bullying; Gangs; Inter-net Safety; Cyber Bullying; Role Models; Metham-phetamine; and others.

D.A.R.E.’s mission is to provide evidence-based curricula that can be tailored to meet local needs, encouraging the use of local statistics mak-ing the presentation more meaningful to a commu-nity’s youth.

D.A.R.E. subscribes to a fidelity ladled training model that teaches the D.A.R.E. officer to utilize current classroom training methods and materials instructing those D.A.R.E. officers to take the ini-tiative to incorporate local statistics meeting local needs making learning more relevant to youth.

D.A.R.E. contains age-appropriate evidence/ science based curricula for grades K-4, elementary, middle school, high school, after school and com-munity presentations.

D.A.R.E.’s middle school program, “keepin’ it REAL,” is on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Na-tional Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) list of effective and promising prevention education programs.

For some, this has become the barometer for the most effective and promising programs that have been peer evaluated identifying evidence of results. Consistently, D.A.R.E. has been evaluated as hav-ing the “best” delivery system of any prevention education program, and it’s further been proven that student attendance in school is the highest on D.A.R.E. presentation days. Both are significant for today’s school culture!

Lastly, not only has D.A.R.E. been proven to

be effective, evidence based, and flexible to local needs and a popular learning format for youth, it is also the most efficient/ cost effective program for Iowa Schools and the taxpayer.

In Iowa, D.A.R.E. elementary and middle school student materials are all free. In Iowa, D.A.R.E. officer training and conferences are all free. No other prevention education program for youth in Iowa can be more cost effective to the tax-payers than the not-for-profit D.A.R.E. program.

If you are interested in beginning D.A.R.E., want to increase your program, or have officers that who nearing retirement and need replace-ment, D.A.R.E. Iowa will be offering a DOT

(D.A.R.E. Officer Training) October 11-22, 2010, in the Des Moines area.

There is no cost for the training other than you getting the officer to the training site and your per-sonnel costs. For more information, contact me at [email protected] or at 319-415-2237. I look for-ward to assisting you and your agency in the fur-therance of D.A.R.E. to serve and educate the most valuable resource we have: the children of Iowa.

Professionally yours,Lt. Daniel Brown, State Coordinator,Program Administrator,D.A.R.E. Iowa

Judy Flores of Waterloo has received the “Government Leader Award” at the 7th Annual “9-1-1 Honors Gala” in Washington D.C.

The Government Leader Award recognizes the efforts of federal, state and local officials in developing and implementing public policy to advance the capabilities of 9-1-1 emergency communications.

Flores, Director of the Black Hawk Consol-idated Communications Center in Waterloo, received the award for installing the nation’s first 9-1-1 Text Messaging service at her Call Center in July of 2009.

The award comes from the E9-1-1 Insti-tute, in conjunction with National Emergency Number Association (NENA), the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO), the National Association of State 9-1-1 Administrators (NASNA), the 9-1-1 In-dustry Alliance (“9IA”) and the Congressional E9-1-1 Caucus.

Flores has spent her career working for im-provements and changes in 9-1-1 emergency

communications. Her leadership has put her Center and the citizens of Black Hawk County on the cutting edge of 9-1-1 communications technology, according to Gregory L. Rohde, Executive Director of the E9-1-1 Institute.

“Judy Flores was the first in the nation to implement a 9-1-1 texting solution for her Call Center,” Rohde said. “This breakthrough allows greater access to emergency services for more people, especially those with spe-cial needs. Because of Ms. Flores’ dedication to implementing the latest technology, Black Hawk County is leading the way in the nation for next generation 9-1-1 applications.”

The E9-1-1 Institute is a non-profit organi-zation that shares the mission of the Congres-sional E9-1-1 Caucus to assist in promoting public education on E9-1-1 and emergency communications issues. NENA serves the public safety community as the only profes-sional organization solely focused on 9-1-1 policy, technology, operations, and educa-tion issues. APCO International is the world’s

oldest and largest professional organization dedicated to the enhancement of public safety communications.

As I write this we have just wrapped up the 2010 annual training conference.

Dr. George Thompson of the Verbal Judo Institute put on a great two-day train-ing seminar in Pleasant Hill. It was very enlightening to hear the man who created Verbal Judo present the course himself.

A big “Thank You” to the Des Moines PARC Board for letting us use their facility for the class, and for the steak dinner they put on Tuesday night for the attendees.

The Training Conference for 2011 will be in Sioux City with the dates and topics to be set shortly.

During the annual Conference Busi-ness Meeting, those in attendance gave the board approval to change the name of this Association to the Iowa Peace Officers Association (IPOA). We will be operating under both names temporarily until all nec-essary changes to operate under the new name are complete. For now, our current web site will remain active to keep you informed with the latest news and training opportunities, but look for a new and im-proved (and less expensive) web site in the future with our new name.

We will, of course, keep the member-ship up to date on these changes as they progress. The new name far better repre-sents who truly makes up this organization and should eliminate any confusion at the Capitol between this association and the

Iowa Police Chiefs Association (formerly IPEF).

At the business meeting it was also de-cided to raise the annual membership dues for the Association by $10 per year. While this is a significant increase, it is still less than $3 per month per person. We want to make the Association more self sufficient so that we are not as dependent on exter-nal fund raising, which is always affected by bad economic times like those we face now. This should help lessen the “ups and downs” of our bottom line.

The legislative session has closed and for law enforcement I have to think it could

have been a lot worse than it was. The spe-cifics are in our “End of Legislative Session Summary” on Page 13, but overall we fared pretty well. ILEA will remain independent of DPS. The IDOT Enforcement Division will remain independent of DPS. The Gov-ernor’s Office of Drug Control Policy will remain independent of DPS. Drug Forfei-ture sharing has now been added to the Iowa Code as a 90/10 split so the Attorney General’s Office will not be able increase their share with a rule change in the future. And the pension systems of MFPRSI and the IPERS protected class were not thrown into chaos through misinformed and un-necessary changes.

The feedback from Legislators to our lobbyist was that your phone calls on sev-eral of these issues had an impact. Your in-volvement can make a difference!

There was great cooperation between the IACPPO, ISPA, and ISSDA. The lob-byists for the “big three” mentioned did an outstanding job of coordinating efforts on issues we felt important to all three groups. And it looks like next session we will need to continue the united front since, depend-ing on who you talk to, the outlook is as bad if not worse for next year from a fiscal standpoint.

Have a safe and enjoyable summer,

Bill

Since the 2010 Training Conference in Pleasant Hill, I have been working on As-sociation changes ratified by the members and the Board.

Let me share some of the changes that are taking place for the Association. The “Big Change” is our name. We will now be known as the Iowa Peace Officers As-sociation (IPOA). The reason for our name change was discussed in previous magazine issues. The members attending the Confer-ence business meeting supported that name change recommendation from the Board.

Having been a member since 1980, and as an IACPPO Past President, I was slow to accept this recommendation. But I do be-lieve it was the correct change at the right time. It will avoid the conflict of being confused with the Iowa Police Chiefs As-sociation, which is the new name of the as-sociation formerly known as the Iowa Po-lice Executive Forum. Also, our new name better reflects who we are today: certified Peace Officers of every rank serving Iowa in local, state and federal agencies.

I am now busy working on the details of those changes and documents that will need to be changed. Our Web Domain will be changed to iowapeaceofficers.org in the near future. However, we will continue to use the iowachiefs.org as well. Look for a new web page this summer as this transi-tion takes place. We will benefit from these changes by reducing our monthly cost to host the new web page.

This is our second joint issue of Iowa Law Enforcement and The Gold Star maga-zines. We are off to a good start, but we still need to see some growth in the number of ads we sell to make it work. As always, we welcome hearing from you, the Members. Our Fall magazine will be on-line only. You will be able to access it from our new web page, iowapeaceofficers.org.

At our Conference Business Meeting, the by-laws recommendation to increase our dues by $10 was approved and will take effect with the new fiscal year begin-ning September 1, 2010. While we have re-duced our expenses the past several years, we have also seen a significant reduction in revenues from our fund raising activi-

ties. An increase in the dues will reduce our future reliance on fund raising. I will be mailing out membership renewal state-ments to the local departments, as well as individuals, in August & September. For those who have individual member-ships, this mailing will again include your membership card. However, it will not be-come active until your dues are received. It would be great to have the dues mailed in by 11/1/10, unlike this past year where we spent six months collecting some of the dues. Please consider taking care of your renewal as soon as the cards arrive.

At the Conference, Dr. George Thomp-son’s two-day “Verbal Judo” seminar was an excellent training session. It was great to see those familiar faces in the audience, and we also had some new, first- time at-tendees. But we would like to see more of the membership at these training programs. This training is practical and beneficial to any officer from any department. Those that attended now have another skill to bring into play while serving the public.

The Board will be meeting in late June. If you have ideas or suggestions for future conferences, please contact one of your board members or send them to me and I will distribute them to the entire board. We want to find a way to encourage more of our members to attend these training con-ferences, I welcome hearing from you.

Have a fantastic summer, enjoy some vacation and most importantly....Stay Safe.

by Kellie PaschkeIACPPO Legislative Consultant

The 2010 legislative session came to a close on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 – one day ahead of the scheduled adjournment on March 31. All bills that were approved have been sent to the Governor for his consideration. By law, he has 30 days to act on them.

In 2010, many of the Association’s legisla-tive priorities were achieved. These priorities are summarized below.

1. We support the proposed changes to the MFPRSI – 411 system should be adopt-ed as proposed. We oppose any changes to IPERS protected class benefits and move to ensure the class remains fully funded.

HF 2518 – Retirement Systems: HF 2518 (formerly HF 2502) makes some of the chang-es to the various state retirement systems that were proposed by the Public Retirement Study Committee, including MFPRSI. Although the Study Committee recommended the inclusion of overtime as wages, as well as increases to the employee contribution rate, the committee declined to accept those changes for MFPRSI. Thus, the current rate will remain unchanged.

Several changes were made to the bill to address the cities’ concerns over the cost of the pension bill. Those changes include: elim-inating the benefits advisory committee for the 411 system and adding similar responsibilities to the 411 Board to consider each year (similar to the IPERS Board duties).

HF 2518 was approved by both the House and the Senate and signed by the Governor in April.

2. We support legislation that would hold club or bar owners responsible for ac-tivities that take place in their parking lots or outdoor property.

HF 788 – Alcohol Control Changes: HF 788 contains several changes to the alcohol beverage control law under Iowa Code Chap-ter 123. HF 788 was originally introduced in 2009, but failed to pass both chambers before the conclusion of the session. The bill contains changes in relation to minors in possession of alcohol and requires parental notification when possible. Additionally, current law pro-

hibits a licensee from knowingly permitting or engaging in criminal activity on the prem-ises of the licensed establishment, and the bill further defines “premises” to include the parking lot or areas adjacent to the premises authorized to sell alcoholic beverages. Busi-nesses licensed for off-premises consumption (grocery and convenience stores) are exempt. HF 788 was signed by the Governor.

3. We oppose any efforts by the Attorney General’s office to change the administra-tive rules as it pertains to the percentages received from forfeited or seized funds.

The Justice System Appropriations Bill – SF 2378 - was approved by the full House and Senate and was sent to the Governor. The pro-vision codifying the 90/10 split of forfeiture funds was included in the bill. This codifica-tion supersedes the Attorney General’s rules which attempted to change the split. Any fu-ture changes to the allocation would require legislative approval.

4. We support the continued explora-tion of a shared complex for regional Fire and Law Enforcement training that would facilitate the common training interests of both groups.

Discussions with legislative leaders re-garding this concept are ongoing.

5. Currently, assaults on Public Safety Personnel (with the exception of those in a correctional facility) with the use of bodily fluids are prosecuted as Serious Misde-meanors. Due to the dangers of disease transmission we feel that any person who commits an assault as defined under section 708.1 against a peace officer, health care provider, employee of DHS, employee of the Department of Revenue, or firefighter, and with knowledge as such, commits an Aggravated Misdemeanor for saliva, or a “D” Felony for blood, seminal fluid, urine, or feces.

No 2010 activity. We will continue to work with leaders of the Public Safety and Judiciary Committees to educate them on the impor-tance of this change in law.

Legislation

HF 2456 – Texting Ban. HF 2456 cre-ates the offense of texting while driving. The House and Senate were not able to agree on a version of the bill, so it was sent to a confer-ence committee. The committee met several times and ultimately crafted a report that both chambers adopted. The texting ban includes:

• Banning receiving and sending of text based messages.

• Restrictions and penalties of gradu-ated licenses.

• Exemptions for public safety person-nel in the performance of their duties.

• Exemptions for trucking and other transportation industries that receive communications in the performance of their employment.

Legislative Session 2010, continuedto have their record expunged after two years if the person has no other convictions (other than simple misdemeanors). HF 2233 was signed by the Governor on March 10, 2010.

HF 2382: Employee Choice of DoctorThis bill would allow members of MFPRSI

to choose their own treating physician when injured in the line of duty. HF 2382: failed to pass the Iowa House.

HF 2378: Escape From Custody. HF 2378 makes the penalty for escape from cus-tody consistent regardless of the underlying offense. Under current law, the penalty for escape is related to the level of crime of the underlying offense. HF 2378 would make any escape from custody a Class D felony. HF 2378 failed to pass the House.

SF 2273 – Electronic Car Title and Reg-istration. This bill would require the DOT to study the issues related to electronic vehicle registration and titles. Initially, the bill re-quired a three county pilot project. SF 2273 was signed by the Governor.

SF 2252 – Juvenile Justice Planning Ad-visory Council. This bill would increase the membership of the advisory council from 23 to 25 members. Additionally, the bill expands the organizations represented on the Council and specifically includes the Iowa Associa-tion of Chiefs of Police and Peace Officers. SF 2252 failed to pass the House.

HF 2287 – Simulated Public Intoxica-tion. This bill was a recommendation from the Criminal Code Reorganization Study Committee. It moves the offense of simulat-ed intoxication to its own new Code section and in doing so it eliminates the alcohol re-quirement. In discussions with legislators on the subcommittee, they believe this will also help law enforcement arrest those who may be

under the influence of controlled substances, as those behaviors may resemble intoxica-tion. HF 2287 was signed by the Governor on March 15, 2010.

SF 2095: Law Enforcement Duties. SF 2095 (the successor to SF 2027) permits an ILEA certified law enforcement officer to ad-minister oaths, acknowledge signatures, and take voluntary testimony. SF 2095 was signed by the Governor on March 19, 2010.

SF 2352: Holding Incapacitated Per-sons. This bill, referred to as the “Ed Thomas Bill,” requires that a hospital notify law en-forcement prior to releasing a person who has been hospitalized due to mental illness or sub-stance abuse if law enforcement has indicated the person will be arrested upon release. SF 2352 was signed by the Governor on March 24, 2010.

SF 2062: Early Retirement. This bill es-tablishes an early retirement incentive plan for eligible employees of the executive and judi-cial branches. Any employee who accepts the incentive plan would no longer be eligible for further employment with the State. SF 2062 was signed by the Governor on February 10, 2010.

SF 2198: Eluding. SF 2198 would make it an aggravated misdemeanor for a driver to willfully fail to stop for a marked police car or to attempt to elude the officer and, in doing so, endangering the safety or other persons and property. SF 2198 failed to pass the Senate.

SF 2357: Domestic Abuse/ Weapons. SF 2357 prohibits an individual who is subject to a permanent protective order from possessing firearms or ammunition. If the order is lifted, the gun rights would be restored. Addition-ally, an individual who is convicted of misde-meanor domestic abuse that involves physical

contact or a deadly weapon is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition perma-nently. SF 2357 was signed by the Governor on March 22, 2010.

SF 2379: Weapons Permits. SF 2379 changes Iowa’s weapons permit law by re-stricting the discretion of county sheriffs in issuing permits to carry concealed weapons. Currently, an Iowa sheriff has broad discretion in determining whether an applicant will be is-sued such a permit. Under the bill, criteria are created that, if met, would entitle an applicant to a permit. Such a permit would be valid for five (5) years. Additionally, reciprocity provi-sions were added that would allow Iowa to recognize permits issued by other states. SF 2379 was signed by the Governor.

HF 426: Law Enforcement Accidents. HF 426 prohibits insurance companies from counting auto accidents by reserve peace offi-cers when the accident was in the line of duty. This protection already exists for law enforce-ment officers. HF 426 was signed by the Gov-ernor on March 22, 2010.

HF 2197: Veterans Holiday. HF 2197 re-quires employers to provide Veterans Day off to employees who are veterans. The employer can choose whether to provide this time off as paid or unpaid. Additionally, the employee must provide documentation of their veteran status, and provide notice of their request to have the day off at least 30 days in advance.

HF 2197 was amended by the Senate to al-low employers to disapprove the day off if it would impact public health or safety, or cause a significant economic or operational disrup-tion. An employer exercising this option must provide notice to the affected employee(s) at least 10 days prior to the day off being re-quested. HF 2197 was signed by the Governor.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety annually recognizes outstanding traffic safety contributions by individuals with the Commissioner’s Special Award for Traffic Safety. This year’s awards were presented March 25 at the annual Gover-nor’s Highway Traffic Safety Conference in Coralville. Selection was based on a commitment to traffic safety and service provided beyond routine duties, creativity of approach, and effectiveness of a traffic safety program or campaign.

To be considered for an award, individ-uals must have contributed in a leadership role to traffic safety issues through promo-tion and awareness in his or her area of ex-pertise.

This year’s recipients are:

The officers of the Clear Lake Police Department, which has greatly improved its traffic safety program this past year and achieved a 95% compliance rate (rounded down to the nearest 5%) for seat belt use in Clear Lake. This achievement could not have been attained without the efforts of all the Clear Lake police officers. Lieuten-ant Deb Ryg runs the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau Traffic Safety Grant, and her organization and hard work managing the program contributed greatly to the success realized in the Clear Lake community.

Officer Greg Casey, Council Bluffs Police Department, has been with Council Bluffs Po-lice for almost seven years. During his ten-ure, Officer Casey has consistently enforced traffic laws and shown an interest in this facet of law enforcement. He is currently assigned to the Special Operations/ Traffic Unit working the overnight shift. In 2009, Officer Casey ar-

rested 113 impaired drivers and issued 915 citations. He leads the Council Bluffs P.D.

in arrests for impaired drivers, and has a nearly perfect conviction record. He is defi-

nitely an asset to Council Bluffs Police and model officer for the Traffic Unit.

17 Traffic Safety Awards presented

by Lt. Deb RygClear Lake P.D.

Since 2006 the Clear Lake Police Department has been participating in the 410 Grant, which is a program offered by the State of Iowa as an incen-tive to keeping our high-ways safe.

The grant allows law enforcement to focus more attention on the streets and highways and keeping drivers safe.

The 410 Program stresses the importance of reducing traffic-related

property damage, personal injury and fatal crashes. Clear Lake Police Depart-ment has enforced these laws by stopping motorists who are speeding, driv-ing impaired, not wearing safety belts and any other moving violations. These drivers are either issued a warning or citation for the traffic violation.

After three years of working with the 410 Grant, the City of Clear Lake has achieved a 97% compliance rate for driv-er’s wearing their safety belts. This number was

compiled after complet-ing two seat belt surveys in 2009, one in August and one in September. These surveys were done at one major highway intersec-tion and one highly trav-eled intersection.

The Clear Lake Police Department works hard to enforce Iowa’s laws and continues to move forward in keeping Iowa’s road-ways safe.

The 410 Grant allows Clear Lake to spend more time enforcing traffic vio-lations, in turn making the city a better, safer place.

Clear Lake P.D. was recognized by the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau for im-proving its community’s seat belt compliance rate to 97 percent. The Clear Lake officers most responsible for this achievement, who worked with the 410 Grant, are: (front row, left to right) Officer Jake Thomas, Officer Kevin Borrill, Officer Tory Reimann, and Det. Paul Chizek. Back row: Chief Greg Peterson, Lt. Deb Ryg, Officer Jerry Schade, and Officer Dean Anderson.

Officer Derek Grooters, Ames Police Department, was ranked No. 1 in the De-partment for issuing 358 citations. He was also ranked No. 1 out of 12 on his shift in answering 913 calls for service, and No. 1 in reports typed with 197. He recently be-came certified in Accident Reconstruction, and one of his many duties was to identify areas of concern on Highway 30 where there has been an increase of confused drivers traveling in the wrong direction. As a result of numerous head-on collisions, Officer Grooters showed the pas-sion to thoroughly research what was happening on the roadway and met with various offi-cials to review these findings and devel-op solutions.

Officer Jessica Jensen, Johnston Po-lice Department, has an excellent under-standing of the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing procedure, laws of arrest and court decisions regarding OWI cases. During calendar year 2009, Officer Jensen arrested 31 individuals for OWI as well as investi-gated at least 12 other possible occurrenc-es of OWI. Because of her thorough and methodical investigations, her cases have withstood challenges by “high profile” de-fense attorneys. In addition to her work with regard to OWI enforcement, Of-ficer Jensen wrote 387 citations during her traffic enforce-ment activities in 2009.

Officer Steve Nore, Johnston Police Department, is knowledgeable and ag-gressive in his traffic enforcement activi-ties. During the course of 2009, Officer Nore wrote 509 citations for various traf-fic offenses. Many of these have resulted in other non-traffic related charges as well,

since he has the training and knowledge to ascertain the situation and identify im-paired drivers. Officer Nore works the 3-11 shift, which is not noted for a high incidence of OWI violations. How-ever, he made three OWI arrests and investigated other potential OWI cases during the year.

Dylan T. Rumph, Mar-Mac Police, has been with the Mar-Mac Unified Law Enforcement District since November 2006. Officer Rumph leads the department in traffic contacts, OWI arrests, and drug interdiction stops. Chief Randall A. Grady says, “Since becoming a member of my de-partment, he has gone above and beyond what I expect from a patrolman in day to day operations.” In 2008, Officer Rumph was assigned the task of coordinating a 321K Safety Checkpoint. The project was a huge success. In 2009, the Monona Police Department held a 321K project in their city and Officer Rumph was a tremendous asset in assisting them in the planning and operations phase of the project. Of-ficer Rumph looks beyond the traffic stop with a proac-tive concern for additional arrests and search warrants relating to impaired driving.

Trooper Andrew Albright, Iowa State Patrol – District 8, had an outstanding en-forcement year. He drives an ummarked Dodge Charger and utilized this tool to its fullest potential. Trooper Albright works diligently to identify drivers who fail to wear their occupant restraints, as well as alcohol and speed violations that may jeop-ardize the lives of other motorists.

A total of 516 occupant restraint cita-tions, 628 speed citations, 28 narcotics

arrests, 22 OWI’s and 399 other citations were the result of his efforts. The importance of road-way safety is forefront in Trooper Albright’s mind.

Trooper Brian Beenen, Iowa State Patrol – District 3, has been a driving force in taking impaired drivers off the roadways in Southwest Iowa. His efforts in removing these impaired drivers helps reduce the number of traffic-related fatali-ties each year. Trooper Beenen made 58 OWI arrests in 2009, compared to the dis-trict average of nine. He had a total of 182 occupant restraint citations, compared to the district average of 121. He has a great working relationship with the county at-torneys that oversee his cases. He is a veteran officer with many years of road enforcement ex-perience, and maintains an extremely high level of commitment to the overall efforts of the Iowa State Patrol.

Trooper Ryan Dolf, ISP – District 13, has done an outstanding job assisting Dis-trict #13 in accomplishing the initiatives set forth by the District and Department. He demonstrates a conscientious attitude towards his enforcement duties, which is reflected by the quality of his work. He was at or near the top of the District in many enforcement categories. He led District 13 with 904 speed citations and was second in seat belts with 110 cita-tions. He again led the District with a total of 1,293 citations and 2,817 total enforcement con-tacts. Trooper Dolf is a strongly motivated offi-cer who is well rounded and maintains a high

level of enforcement activity.Senior Trooper Dan Schaefer, ISP – Dis-

trict 9, issued more than 1,400 traffic citations during 2009. He is diverse in his enforcement activities, as he issued 774 speeding citations, 155 seat belt citations, 15 child restraint ci-tations and arrested 7 drivers for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He also is-sued 16 citations for open container and used his PBT 24 times. He is very aware of com-mercial vehicle regula-tions and inspected 24 commercial vehicles. The results of those inspections placed five drivers out of service. Senior Trooper Dan Schaefer is an outstand-ing example of dedicat-ed traffic enforcement.

Trooper Robert Smith, Iowa State Pa-trol – District 12, issued 208 speeding cita-tions, 45 OWI arrests, 103 occupant restraint citations, 103 non-traffic citations and various other citations for a total of 954 uniform cita-tions in 2009. He also issued 538 total memo-randums for traffic violations and equipment repair cards for a combined total of 1,492 total enforcement contacts. Trooper Robert Smith exceeded his peers in District 12 by over 400% in the area of apprehending impaired drivers. His willingness to adjust his schedule so that he can direct his enforcement efforts to-wards alcohol related events definitely speaks volumes on his dedica-tion to traffic safety.

Senior Trooper James K. Smith, Iowa State Patrol – District 10, in Oelwein is the Fit Force Coordinator and a Field Train-ing Officer. Despite devoting over half of his duty time to other assignments and working mostly in the predominantly rural counties of Buchanan, Delaware, and Fayette, Trooper Smith’s traffic safety program led to a total of 1,665 enforcement contacts. These contacts were comprised of 440 traffic citations, 92 non-traffic violations, 703 written warnings and 430 defective equipment memorandums.

As a result of his efforts in 2009, Trooper Smith led District #10 with 25 OWI arrests, 92 non-traffic arrests, 24 revoked/suspended

drivers’ arrests, 93 uninsured motorist’s ci-tations and 29 open container citations. The initiative, positive attitude, work ethic and professionalism Trooper Smith incorporates into his highly effective traf-fic safety program are indicative of his desire to impact the public and effect sustainable change in an effort to make Iowa’s highways safer.

Trooper Eric Van Zee, Iowa State Patrol – District 11, led the District in the apprehen-sion of speed violators, issuing 633 citations. He also issued more than 15% of the entire districts total in seat belt citations with 225. His enforcement efforts extend beyond the initial reason for the stop, demonstrated by his total enforcement citations of 1,233. In ad-dition to the charges that were cited, he also took action by issuing 930 warnings for minor infractions of the law. This makes his total en-forcement contacts 2,163. In addition, he ar-rested 14 drunk drivers, issued 3 citations for child restraint, and assisted over 117 stranded motorists. Trooper Van Zee has recently com-pleted extensive Drug Recognition Training to further enhance his ability to identify and remove drugged driv-ers from the highway. Trooper Van Zee’s service to the citizens of the State of Iowa had a direct impact on the safety of motorists traveling on Iowa’s roadways.

Trooper Karen Yaneff, Iowa State Pa-trol – District 6, works primarily in Wood-bury and Plymouth Counties, which are listed in the top 22 counties for fatalities. She has been dedicated to the point of spending a lot of her own time catching up on reports from the shift before so she can “hit the ground running” when her next shift starts. In 2009, she made 18 drunk driver arrests and revoked two subjects for the .02 violation. Eleven of the OWI arrests were determined to be driv-ers that were operating under the influence of drugs other than alcohol. She also filed 12 charges for open container and 17 narcotics arrests. She made 74 arrests for driving while

license suspended, of which 13 were for driv-ing while license re-voked for OWI. Always looking to be proactive, she filed 217 combined seat belt and child re-straint citations. Total arrests for 2009 were 877 and she also issued 1,098 total traffic memorandums. Trooper Yaneff has truly made a solid impact in the area of traffic safety in Northwest Iowa.

The Central Iowa Traffic Safety Task Force, (CITSTF) is a consortium of Polk and Dallas County law enforcement agencies part-nering to address identified, data driven crash and driver behavior problem areas across Polk and Dallas counties. They are a model for multi-jurisdictional enforcement efforts across the region. Starting with just a few co-operative multi-agency events a year the task force now coordinates nearly 20 events per year, focusing on Iowa’s major contributors to death and serious injury including occupant protection compliance, impaired driving and speed. In 2009, Polk County was the second leading county in Iowa in terms of fatality re-ductions from 2008, boasting 11 fewer traffic deaths, and experiencing their lowest fatality year in more than a decade.
